Historic Hand Hotel in Llangollen Sold to International Buyer

Graham + Sibbald, Chartered Surveyors and Property Consultants, are pleased to announce the successful sale of the iconic Hand Hotel in Llangollen, North West Wales, to international investment firm Zeltgelst Consulting Pte Limited. The business will be operated by globally renowned hotel, Compass Hospitality with immediate effect.

This significant sale marks a new chapter for the Hand Hotel – a well-known and highly profitable hotel, inn, and restaurant situated in the heart of the picturesque market town of Llangollen. The hotel features 58 individually styled en suite bedrooms, a popular public bar, a bistro-style restaurant, private dining facilities, and conference space, making it an attractive proposition for a wide range of investors.

Rich in heritage and local significance, the Hand Hotel has served as a cornerstone of the Llangollen community for generations. The recent sale reflects its enduring appeal, both as a business and a cultural asset.

Martin Davis, Hotel + Leisure Partner at Graham + Sibbald, commented:
“It was great to work with our clients, Louise Holland and her colleagues on the sale of the Hand Hotel. Having owned the hotel for 25 years, it was a big decision for Louise and her Co Directors to sell this profitable business. However, the outcome is a testament to the continued demand for profitable, high-quality hospitality investments in the UK’s most scenic and vibrant locations.”

Louise Holland, former Managing Director and part-owner of the Hand Hotel, shared her thoughts on the experience:
“We have owned the Hand Hotel for 25 years. When we decided to sell the Hand Hotel, we sought out quotes from the major agencies. Graham + Sibbald’s honesty and industry insight convinced me they were the right fit. Martin Davis brought serious buyers to the table without inflating expectations and provided support and clarity at every stage. His perseverance and expertise made all the difference, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone considering a share sale or business sale. We wish Compass Hospitality and the team at the Hand Hotel all the very best for the future and look forward to seeing the Hand Hotel continue to thrive under Compass Hospitality’s stewardship.”

The hotel was sold off a guide asking price of £1,900,000 by way of a share sale transaction.
